Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: The group diligently monitors, analyses, and evaluates all European Union legislative proposals and policies that have a direct or indirect impact on national gambling laws, which are traditionally autonomous. This comprehensive scrutiny is aimed at assessing the sustainability of these legislative initiatives and their effect on current business models, as well as anticipating any social risks that may arise. The insights garnered from this analysis are then shared with pertinent political and institutional stakeholders. To further facilitate understanding and dialogue, we organize personal meetings and informational events. The legislative processes currently under our examination include: - The 6th Money Laundering Directive and accompanying money laundering regulations, which aim to strengthen the EU's efforts to prevent financial systems from being used for laundering money or financing terrorism. - The Supranational Risk Assessment, which offers a detailed evaluation of the threats and vulnerabilities facing the EU regarding money laundering and terrorist financing, including aspects relevant to the gambling sector. - The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Package, focusing on the European Commission's approach to ensuring a trustworthy development and deployment of AI, which could have significant implications for online gaming and gambling platforms. - The Digital Services Package, which encompasses a range of initiatives designed to modernize the EU’s digital market, including regulations that could affect online gambling services. - Efforts to combat illegal gambling providers, which include both online and offline entities not licensed in the jurisdictions where their services are offered. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of legal gambling operations and protecting consumers. - ... Our involvement in these matters underscores our commitment to promoting a responsible, secure, and regulated gambling environment within the European Union.
Communication Activities: Our activities are currently centred on keen observations, thorough analyses, and engaging discussions related to the mentioned EU policy areas. These include: - Attending specialized events and conferences to stay informed and connected with the latest developments and trends within these areas. - Engaging in dialogue with EU institutions to both gain insights and advocate for our industry's interests. - Developing and articulating our positions on these policies, ensuring they are effectively communicated to relevant stakeholders. These efforts are essential for aligning our industry's objectives with evolving EU policies and for contributing positively to the legislative environment within the EU.
